How to prepare for your flight the night before
Preparation turns flight day from a scramble into a plan. A few simple choices make the whole day calmer.
The night before
- Rest and hydrate; go easy on caffeine, which can amplify jittery feelings.
- Pack early so the morning has no rush — hurry feeds anxiety.
- Have your calm plan ready: your breathing, your anchor phrase, your briefing.
Choosing your seat
A seat over the wing tends to feel the most stable, as it’s near the aircraft’s centre. A window can help some people (you see the horizon), an aisle helps others (you feel free to move). Pick what reassures you.
At the airport
Arrive with time to spare so nothing is rushed. Move slowly, breathe, and remember you’ve prepared for this. Boarding calm is a choice you set up the night before.
Bring this calm to your own flight
A personalised Co-pilot Briefing walks you through your specific flight in a calm captain’s voice.
